Amal Unbound - Global Read Aloud Chapters 1-5 by Joel Bevans

jkoski1 — 2018-10-10 04:04:19 UTC

I feel gender equality is completely unfair, because boys are treated better than girls.
Victoria

jkoski1 — 2018-10-10 04:05:05 UTC

If I was Amal I would feel upset because all the family members wanted a boy not a girl, but the baby was a girl.

If I was Amal I would feel very upset, because it's not fair that people only like boys even though all people are the same.

I think that we are all equal, no matter if you are a girl or a boy.
Patrick

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 06:42:13 UTC

I think that Amal’s mom shouldn’t say she isn’t happy that she didn’t get a boy because girls and boys are equal.

-Aaira

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:12:17 UTC

If I were Amal, I would be sad because they have only girls in their family, and maybe they want to see how a boy behaves.

-Ines

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:12:43 UTC

I think girls and boys don’t have gender equality because they could be treated equally and they both could be brave and smart. Boys are not born with smart talent; If you teach girls, they can also be smart and brave.

-Yutika

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:13:08 UTC

If I were Amal’s mom, I would feel good about any gender I got because girls and boys have different abilities, but they’re all a person who can do different things, but you can teach them to let them know what you’re trying to say.

-Gina

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:13:27 UTC

If I were Amal, I would tell my mom that even gender is okay. They are different but they are still a person and they can do things.

-Siya

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:13:52 UTC

If I were Amal, I would be upset because my parents would think that boys are better than girls.

-Queena

bonnie_ewilson — 2018-10-10 07:15:14 UTC

I think gender equality is in this book because of a big event that hasn’t happened yet.
-Sam

If I were Amal then I would try and reason to my mom about why girls are equal to boys and why she should be happy. I wonder why the mom is sad. I think it is because gender equality is a problem. If I was the mom then I would be happy with whatever gender baby I had as long as it is healthy. -Sydney (Panama)

If I was amal, I would just ignore it or maybe ask them why do they prefer boys (I know wh y they prefer boys but Im not spoiling) and if they are still proud of having a baby girl. If you want to know why they prefer boys and not girls, ask me! -Diana 5th grade Panama

if i were Amal i wouldn't really care because girls and boys are the same like there is no difference

If i would be Amal I would say that, i think that it dose not matter because if it would be a boy i think it would be fine as well.

there is some countries were the woman can't be free and if I will be Amal

2018-10-10 14:56:44 UTC

There are some countries where woman and girls do not work and can not support their families in the future. That is why Amal's parents want a boy, to have somebody to support them when they are old.

2018-10-10 14:57:12 UTC

I feel that is unfair because woman should have the same rigths as men.

I think that thier parents wanted a boy because he could get better learning and he could teach his sisters what he learns.

I will think sad😦 because I am a girl and it makes e feel sad that they want me. I will ask mi parents why they don't want a girl😯.

If i was Amal I would be happy of having a sister girl because people don't choose the gender god chooses and you souldn't be sad because you have more company so you can play with.

If I were Amal, I will be thinking about the reasons why my parents didn't like girls and try to ask for the answer from them. I would want to know why having a girl is such a bad thing.
Allen

jkoski1 — 2018-10-10 23:06:20 UTC

I think Amal's parents are disappointed that another girl was born, because the boys' school has more books than the girls' and they want the boy to learn more and teach everyone in the house.

Valentina (Panama

2018-10-11 15:23:19 UTC

If I was Amal, I would feel bad, and also confused. I would ask my parents "What is so bad about having a girl and not a boy?" And my thinking about gender equality is that in many countries girls do not receive the same rights as boys do, but we are all equal

Valentina (Panama)

2018-10-11 15:26:35 UTC

If I was Amal I would be confused and sad, because my parents did not want a girl. I would ask them "Why is having a girl so dissapointing, if boys and girls have the same rights?" And after reading these chapters I feel that gender equality is different all around the world, and that i some places girls dont have as much rights as boys do.

Emily [Panama]

2018-10-11 17:06:24 UTC

If I was Amal I would be confused because I would not care about if I got a Brother or a sister. I would be happy with any of them.

Emily [Panama]

2018-10-11 17:09:39 UTC

If I was Amal I would be confused because every body has the same rights even if in some country’s girls have other rights than boys we are all the same.

Amal Unbound: If I was Amal I would be sad because girls didn’t have the same rights as boys and parents preferred boys. If I was Amal, I would start working in a human equal rights organization. Ahbid (Panama)

when the parents got a baby that was a girl in chapter 6 or 5, the mom and dad were crushed ( another word for really sad).

Charles (Canada

2018-10-15 14:07:48 UTC

I think it's bad that there is gender inequality because everyone should have the same rights because just because someone looks different than someone else, they should have the same rights.

Leena (Panama)

2018-10-18 17:16:13 UTC

Amal is very mature. she notices that women themselves are feeling upset about the birth of her baby sister. She wonders if they felt like that when she was born. She seems to be saddened by this. If I were Amal, I would be confused about why they think like that.

Antonio (panama)

I think that it does not matter to be a girl or a boy. If I was Amals parents I would be happy with the baby. I would not matter if it was a girl or a boy because the planet should have equality of gender.

Andrea(panama)

2018-10-18 23:25:26 UTC

i think it dosen't matter if you are a girl or a boy because amals mom is a girl and that means that she hates her self because she is a girl and I have 2 sisters and it is very fun.

2018-10-18 23:29:51 UTC

Alessia (panama)
I think It does not it matter if you’re a girl or a boy because were all the same and this planet should have equal rights no matter what gender you are. I also think Amal is very is very grown-up and has a good opinion on to one life will be because she doesn’t care for baby sister is a girl or she had a baby brother she loves her baby sister her a lot and I hope Amal can change the world to be a better place and to have equal rights

Grace (Canada)

globel — 2018-10-19 15:39:45 UTC

Hearing about the disappointment in Amal's parents' eyes makes me so sad. Having a baby should one of the happiest moments in a parent's life. It is one of God's greatest gifts. I wonder how Amal will get past her parents' disappointment. It leaves me wondering if her relationship will change with her parents....

Gemmagh (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:43:52 UTC

When you think about this it isn't fair how Amal's parents were disappointed in having a girl. The look on Amal's parents' face was just terrible! It makes me wonder why people don't treat boys and girls the same way. Everyone is the same the only thing that is different is that we are all unique. I wonder how Amal is feeling because if her parents don't want a girl now, then did they really want her her?

Mia-Bella (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:45:31 UTC

When you think about it is it that bad to have a girl. f a where Amal i would not be disappointed i would be grateful for what ever i get.

Gabrielle(Canada)

2018-10-19 15:45:53 UTC

I really feel sad for Amal 's mom because she really wanted to have a boy.I would probably also want a boy if I lived in Pakistan because a boy would be needed in the family of girls to help with the farm. I wonder what Amal will do next after Amal saw her parent's eyes.
I wonder if she will stay in her room, or just like just never get over it.

velly (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:46:18 UTC

I wonder how sad she had to felt seeing her mom like that. 😟 I feel very sad for her. 😭

Cameron (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:46:19 UTC

I don't know why Amal's parents all so disappointed if I was Amal I would be so happy to have a sister I would tell them you should be happy for what you got and treat boy and girls just the same because there should be no difference between a girl and a boy.

Isaiah ( Canada )

2018-10-19 15:46:29 UTC

It's really sad that Amal's Mom was crying when she had her baby.

Chloe (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:46:32 UTC

I felt sad when Amal's mom was mad about the baby girl, whats so bad about girls. The mom is one. Every child she had was a girl and she never complained. My family is full of girls and I like it.

Evan(Canada)

2018-10-19 15:46:43 UTC

I wonder if the relationship with her and her parents will change. I wonder if Amal parents were unhappy to have her. I wonder if Amal parents had the same reaction to her.

Aiden (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:46:56 UTC

I wonder if Amal is going to be happy or sad that the baby was a girl because I would be super happy if I had another sister. I wonder why Amals parent's where so crushed?

Ania (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:47:30 UTC

I hope that Amal can get past her parents disappointment

Carrington (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:47:39 UTC

If Amal is girl, Then I wonder how she felt when she saw the crushed look in her parents eyes.If they didn't want a girl now.Then why would they want a girl then.

Sean(Canada)

2018-10-19 15:48:11 UTC

Why would Amal's parents would not accept there adorable baby girl. That she went through and did all of that pain for that baby. Well it seems like the parents had to sell the baby ,but I don't no that fur sure.

Benjamin(Canada)

2018-10-19 15:48:20 UTC

I do not understand why Amals
mother started to cry when her new baby girl was born. I know that girls in this reading are not treated the same as boys. It is harder for girls to live in this country. Boys get better education than girls education and boys get good jobs in life.

Andrew (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:48:28 UTC

If I was Amal's mom I would have pain for the baby but I would fill happy for my baby. and take care of my baby.

It would be heart breaking if Amal found out that she was not loved when she was born. Also very sad when Alma's mom was crying that her healthy baby was a girl. I would love my baby boy or girl!

If I had a baby sister I would be very happy!

Mya (Canada)

2018-10-19 15:53:21 UTC

The look on Amal's mom's face of disappointment and sadness says that she wanted a son. It made a Amal wonder if they ever wanted her in the first place.

2018-10-20 22:28:37 UTC

I would be heart broken. Imagine if you were having a baby sister and your parents cry because she was born. Was itthe same when YOU were born? You might never know. Poor Amal. Girls have the same rights as boys. They should both be treated equally.

Fátima (PANAMA

If I was Amal I would be more than heartbroken.Imagine your parents don’t love you because your a girl.That is heartbreaking. Getting a sister and parents being depressed for a girl? You should be happy that your baby is in good conditions. Rapping this up I think boys and girls are equal genders at the bottom we all are humans we all were kids and adults. Gender doesn’t really matter in life.
